Women faced with cervical carcinoma usually feel an increased need for support and attention, in particular from their partners as, at the same time an important part of the partner relation, sexual interaction often becomes problematic. In this research the eventuality of a reduced sexual motivation in cervical carcinoma patients was investigated. It was found that sexual interaction is valued significantly less by women treated for cervical carcinoma than by women from a non-patient control group. After treatment no changes in overt sexual behaviour occur. Furthermore an effort was made to identify the most important psychosexual variables underlying the reduction in sexual motivation. It was found that a considerable decrease in the appraisal of oneself as a sexual partner is generally basic to the problem. Apparently women try to cope by conforming to the sexual demands of their partners and with that of prevailing sexual norms. It was concluded that cervical carcinoma treatment has a strong negative effect on the sexuality of the patients and that it often amplifies the already existing ambivalence towards sexual interaction in women.
面对宫颈癌的女性通常会感到对支持和关注的需求增加，尤其是来自伴侣的支持和关注，因为与此同时，作为伴侣关系的一个重要部分，性互动往往会出现问题。在这项研究中，对宫颈癌患者性动机降低的可能性进行了调查。结果发现，接受宫颈癌治疗的女性对性互动的重视程度明显低于非患者对照组的女性。治疗后，公开的性行为没有变化。此外，还努力确定导致性动机降低的最重要的性心理变量。结果发现，对自己作为性伴侣的评价大幅下降通常是问题的根源。显然，女性试图通过顺应伴侣的性需求和现行的性规范来应对。研究得出结论，宫颈癌治疗对患者的性方面有强烈的负面影响，而且它常常加剧女性对性互动已有的矛盾心理。
